Loving my stamps...

I've been making a lot of cards lately... I promise more random crafts later but for now I am totally *lovin* my new stamps.

                                           
Obviously you have seen the tree stamp in my last post (below) and I had to do another card with it. My little one helped me with this card. She likes using the spray bottle to do "watercolor" effects on stamps.                 
                                
I have been looking through the stamp sets on Gel-A-Tin's website and I'm addicted now...
                                      
Okay, March means a new giveaway. Any ideas?

Random Paper Crafts

I've been organizing my stamps and things and toucing them makes me want to craft like crazy. Here's some recent projects.

                                        

First up, cupcake card. Maya Road stamps. Bazzil brown and Paper Temptress Pop Tone Pink. I love cupcakes, in case you didn't know already. lol!

                                           

Next, we have a little notepad project. All PaperTemptress paper. Rub-on is SU!. The pen is a scrap of paper rolled up and slid down in.                                     

                                       

Last in for this post is a fun card using Bazzil and Gel-a-tin stamps. I just love the tree stamps. By now you know that the sparkle paper is Paper Tempress and the ink is SU! To get the fade on the stamp you just rub different colored inks on different parts of the stamp. Green in the middle and chocolate chip around the outside. If you overlap them a little you get the fade effect.

Folded Love Box

These boxes are super fun. It's just one side of the origami box with a piece of cardstock wrapped over it. This image shows how to fold the box.

The stamp is from stampabilities (Micheals) the paper is Bazzil, as if you didn't know that already. Round stamp, ink and ribbon is SU!

I am going to put a little gift in this box for Valentines day. There is a shortage of less girly V-day stuff. Hope you enjoy this little unfrilly box. I'm working on some great new crafts to share. See ya around!
